It is a reference to the old currency Brazil used to have during the colonial era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Brazilian government implemented the current currency of the country in 1994, after a difficult period of inflation crisis in the country. Since then, the Real had its ups and downs. Nevertheless, the Brazilian economy is among the most important in the world. So, if you are interested in Brazilian history, it is important to learn a bit about the Real, the official currency of Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/real-currency-brazil\/#Former_Currencies_in_Brazil\" >Former Currencies in Brazil<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/real-currency-brazil\/#Banknotes_and_Coins\" >Banknotes and Coins<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/real-currency-brazil\/#Conversion\" >Conversion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Former_Currencies_in_Brazil\"><\/span>Former Currencies in Brazil<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/a3-lazy-load\/assets\/images\/lazy_placeholder.gif\" alt=\"Real brasile\u00f1o moneda de Brasil 1\" class=\"wp-image-76472\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout history, Brazil had a number of different currencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During colonial times, the first currency in Brazil was based on the Portuguese monetary system. At that time, the local currency was already called Real, the same as today. However, after the Proclamation of the Republic, new bills were printed with a new design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next Brazilian currency was called Cruzeiro, an hommage to the Cruzeiro do Sul constellation (Crux). It was created in 1942 and it was the first time coins were created in Brazil. After that, the Cruzeiro Novo, established in 1967, used the same notes as Cruzeiro. However, a stamp would show its new value.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Brazilian currency would be called Cruzeiro once again three years later, with new banknotes. Over time, the currency depreciated, and the government had to print new banknotes of much greater value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1986, Brazil adopted a new currency, Cruzado. Despite the brand new currency being established, just 3 years later the government created the Cruzado Novo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, a new monetary reform in 1990 brought Cruzeiro back. This would be the third time Brazil adopted Cruzeiro as a currency. Still, the change did not last long and, in 1993, Cruzeiro Real was established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In July 1994, following nearly two decades of persistently hyperinflation cycles, the Brazilian government finally introduced a new currency to the people, the Brazilian Real. Nowadays, payments in cash are still customary in Brazil and the majority of the population collect their wages in cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Banknotes_and_Coins\"><\/span>Banknotes and Coins<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/real-moeda-brasileira-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/a3-lazy-load\/assets\/images\/lazy_placeholder.gif\" alt=\"real moeda brasileira\" class=\"wp-image-76470\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Central Bank of Brazil is the only institution with the authority to issue banknotes and coins in Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the implementation of the Brazilian real, banknotes and coins had two different series of designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current design went through security enhancements, including size differentiation for banknotes. The new banknotes began to enter circulation in December 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each banknote in Brazil has a different color. The front of each banknote portrays the effigy of the republic, Brazil\u2019s national personification. At the top right and top left can be seen the note\u2019s denomination.
